Question

Hi, i am a counselor at a day camp this summer it is for a week long, and 4 hours a day. It is all girls and the ages are 2nd to 4th grade. What would some fun activites for the kids be. They go through things really fat and get bored easily so they need to be very entertaining, and its one counselor to 5 kids so it cant take to much energy. Please help, thanks

Answer 1

Let them make up a play.  then ask them to bring little outfits or accessories and act it out at the end of the week.  make some crafty jewerly that they can wear during the performance.  Most girls that age are drama queens and will love it.

Answer 2

Girls that age usually love all sorts of craft activities. Go onto orientaltrading.com and you will find TONS of really great, inexpensive crafts. You can also do scavenger hunts, or all sorts of games. There are alot of websites out there. Just google summer camp activities and you will be amazed at what ideas you will be given! Good luck and have fun!

Answer 3

One of my favorite craft activities of all time is Pearler Beads. Go to www.pearlerbeads.com you may even remember these from your own childhood.

Red Rover, Simon Says, Freeze Tag are also good games to play with some other groups
